Being At War With Yourself

I was observing someone being ‘victimized’ by rules and life the other day. This individual is always at odds with anyone who tells them that they have to do “this” or “that”. It could be as simple as the tray goes over there, or it’s time to do something.  When you look deeper at the individual, the reason for this resistance is some of the following beliefs and attitudes:

·      I have to always fight with others to prove that no one really likes me.

·      I have to show that I am always the victim.

·      If I create enough chaos around me, others won’t see my dark side.

·      I need attention and sympathy in order to feel good about myself.

·      I need to prove that I am right.

·      I have to always be in control of situations and people.

But the only real battle going on is within the individual. They are at war with themselves. It is impossible to have a peaceful and joyful life if you have turmoil within. That turmoil and chaos will reflect outward and it will seem that everyone else is to blame or that the world is against you.

What do you need to be right about in your life? Why is it important? How do you feel if you are not right?

Do you have to do things that make you feel right all the time? Even if those things are detrimental to yourself?

What do you need to be right about? How is that running your life? Has it become a habit that is not working for you anymore?

We must always find the peace within before we are able to see it reflected back to us. Know that the universe supports you and you are safe. Everything is in Divine Order.
